Interface dermatitis is a broad term used for all the lesions having clinical features and histological of epidermal basal cell damage extensive mononuclear infiltration in papillary dermis, these are also known as lichenoid dermatosis or “Lichenoid tissue reaction” (LTR).
 The aim study was to detail histopathological findings associated with interface dermatitis.

Lichen planus (LP) is a skin disease characterized by violaceous, polygonal, flat-topped papules and plaques. The form with lichenoid papules in linear distribution is called linear lichen planus (LLP). It is usually distributed unilaterally and follows Blaschko lines. Lichen planus is seen in less than 0.2% of all LP patients [1]. To our knowledge, there has been no LPP case due to orthopedic ...

A 9-year-old girl presented with a 15-day history of abrupt onset of a papular, non-itchy frontofacial rash (figure 1). Her recent anamnesis was negative for contact dermatitis. She had no signs of other dermatological disease (eg, eczema or psoriasis). The rest of the physical examination was normal. The classic appearance and distribution of the rash along Blaschko’s lines (BL) (figure 2) was...

Microarthropods are often found more abundantly in soils with earthworms than in soils without. Earthworms probably create a favourable environment for microarthropods but few studies have aimed to explain this earthworm effect. The soil collembolan (Hexapoda) Heteromurus nitidus, living in soils at pH > 5 only and thus rich in earthworms, is particularly attracted by earthworms in humus cores....

Terrestrial gastropods were collected from wetland, grassland, and forested habitats throughout eastern and southcentral South Dakota from May-August of 1999 and 2000 to assess the role of gastropods in transmission of meningeal worm (Parelaphostrongylus tenuis) to white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) populations throughout the state. A total of 4,063 gastropods representing 14 species, f...

The genus Oryzomys comprises 40 species arranged in several species groups. To test the monophyly of three Oryzomys species groups ("capito," nitidus, and subflavus), we analyzed, by distance, parsimony, and maximum-likelihood (ML), 801 bp of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome b. Our results did not sustain the monophyly of Oryzomys nor of the nitidus and subflavus species groups. Within the "ca...

BACKGROUND Since outside the tribal areas of North-East India it is not widely known, neither in the world nor in India itself, that rats are considered a delicious food item, this was one of several reasons why we decided to present this ethnographic account of rat procurement and preparation (together with some additional comments on the cultural role that rats have especially amongst members...
